Hey Tom! I understand what you're trying to do now! I'm not sure if there's a way to do that, but I'll run some tests and let you know the results.
Meanwhile, an alternate solution would be to consider using partials and/or components on your layout.php file. That way, you'll be able to update parts of the layout which are "outside" the view area (on the decoration part). That might also be a more elegant design choice, thinking on the MVC pattern and on the code/design separation talks :) Take a look at the chapter "Inside the View Layer >> Code Fragments" on the symfony book, you might get some ideas from there!
